Your Guide to Masks
Updated Apr. 6, 2021 Print
CDC recommends that people wear masks in public settings, at events and gatherings, and anywhere they will be around
other people. E ective February 2, 2021, masks are required on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public
transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations.
How to Select
When selecting a mask, there are many choices. Here are some do’s and don’ts.
DO choose masks that DO NOT choose masks that
Have two or more layers of washable, Are made of fabric that makes it hard
breathable fabric to breathe, for example, vinyl
Completely cover your nose and
mouth
Have exhalation valves or vents which
allow virus particles to escape
Fit snugly against the sides of your face
and don’t have gaps
Are prioritized for healthcare workers,
including N95 respirators
Have a nose wire to prevent air from
leaking out of the top of the mask
Special Considerations
Gaiters & face shields
Wear a gaiter with two layers, or fold it Not recommended: Evaluation of face
to make two layers shields is ongoing, but e ectiveness is
unknown at this time.Children
Find a mask that is made for children Check to be sure the mask ts snugly Do NOT put on children younger than
to help ensure proper t over the nose and mouth and under 2 years old
the chin and that there are no gaps
around the sides
Cold weather gear
Wear your scarf, ski mask or balaclava Scarves, ski masks and balaclavas are
over your mask not substitutes for masks
People with beards
Certain types of facial hair, like beards, can make mask tting di cult. Masks that t well protect you better. To have a better
t, people with beards can shave their beards or trim their beards close to the face.
Other ways to improve t
Use a mask tter or brace. Wear one disposable mask underneath a cloth mask that
has multiple layers of fabric. The second mask should push
the edges of the inner mask against the face and beard.
For people with beards that are not trimmed close to the face, masks may t loosely around the beard. However, people with
beards should still wear a mask. Masks designed for people with beards are being evaluated, and information will be
provided when it becomes available.For more information on evidence for e ectiveness of masks, other types of face protection, and mask alternatives, see

• Put distance between yourself and other people.
» Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread virus.

CS 316291A 01/26/2021Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others
• You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.
• Everyone should wear a mask in public settings and when around people not
living in their household, especially when social distancing is difficult to maintain.
» Masks should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has
trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove
the mask without assistance.
• A mask helps prevent a person who is sick from spreading the virus to others,
and offers some protection to the wearer as well.
• Do NOT use a facemask meant for a healthcare worker.
• Continue to keep at least 6 feet between yourself and others. The mask is not a
substitute for social distancing.
Cover coughs and sneezes
• Always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or
use the inside of your elbow.
• Throw used tissues in the trash.
• Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If
soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that
contains at least 60% alcohol.
Clean and disinfect
• Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables,
doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets,
faucets, and sinks. www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/

• If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap and water prior
to disinfection.
• Then, use a household disinfectant. You can see a list of EPA-registered
household disinfectants here.

Implementing CDC Guidance
Effective May 19, New York has adopted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) “Interim Public Health
Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated People,” issued May 13, for most businesses and public settings.
Businesses are authorized to require masks and six feet of social distancing for employees and/or patrons within their establishments
OR adhere to CDC guidance, which advises that fully vaccinated individuals do not need to wear masks or be socially distanced, but
unvaccinated individuals must continue to wear masks and be socially distanced in most settings.*
• The Department of Health strongly recommends masks and six feet of social distancing in indoor settings where vaccination status
of individuals is unknown. Any mask requirements that businesses choose to implement must adhere to all applicable federal and
state laws and regulations (e.g., Americans with Disabilities Act)
• *This provision applies across most commercial settings, including but not limited to retail, food services, offices, gyms and fitness
centers, amusement and family entertainment, hair salons, barber shops and other personal care services, among other settings.
However, Pre-K to 12 schools, public transit, homeless shelters, correctional facilities, nursing homes, and healthcare settings are
exempt and must continue to follow the State's existing COVID-19 health guidelines until more New Yorkers are fully vaccinated.

Study Conclusion
Test results showed good regression and repeatability between the two duplicate tests. Test indicated that AtmosAir air cleaners reduced the concentrations in the chamber air
(57.12 m3 in volume) for Hexane by 94.6%, 2-Butanone by 91.1%, Iso-butanol by 97.1%, Toluene by 98%, Tetrachloroethylene by 94.5%, Hexanal by 97.5%, Ethylbenze by 96.3% and
Decane by 96.4% over the 6 hours pull-down test period. These corresponded to the equivalent clean air delivery rate (CADR) for the two units tested to range from 12 cfm to
22.5 cfm, depending of the VOCs.Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) Test vs. Study Summary
